Dixie Chicks Show T-minus 2 days and counting
It didn't hit me until after I'd posted about it just exactly *why* the Dixie Chicks' Entertainment Weekly cover story came out so late after the comments were made. Then, in a flash of light, I saw the cover of the Greenville News this week: Dixie Chicks in town May 1! Bingo! What better time to come out with the EW piece than right before you start your big worldwide tour in Greenville, SC. The local media, smelling blood in the water, has been all over this story. The TOP STORY - above the fold, right below the flag - for the past two days has been Dixie Chicks. Here's a link to the Greenville News' complete coverage of the Dixie Chicks show.

Hmm... May 1... May Day... The Internationale... Annual show of new weaponry by Stalin... I wish everyone had watched the Diane Sawyer's hour long interview with the Dixie Chicks. It is obvious that these women are nothing but talented inarticulate air-heads. They might be entitled to "forgiveness" by their former fans IF they had asked for it. But instead of stepping up to the plate and sincerely apologizing, they chose to ask for Sorry Gals!!! Spin doesn't get it any more - at least with my family. History repeats itself but never precisely in the same way. That attempt at spin may have cut it last year but no more. As Mr. Warren says: there's been a seachange in attitude. My fervent hope is that the American public remember the 130 young men and 1 woman who have just lost their lives in Iraq by refusing to support "celebrities" like the Dixie Chicks. Posted by: Belle at April 29, 2003 03:35 PMTheir ideas are unimportant, but somehow the culture has made them very important, as symbols. So, as symbols, then supporting them means others will get a message that you are "with" the protesters. You shouldn't care about that, really, except if you *are* pro-GWB, and you want to help GWB, then withold yourself from paying $ to entertainers who diss him. Make that sacrifice, not so much to help GWB, but more to avoid idling along in the big gooey never-think middle of the road, which is where the professional lefties and Baath party officials all want you to be.

Posted by: Hall Monitor at April 29, 2003 07:14 PMI have a question: By what far stretch of the imagination do people claim to be supporting the troops by protesting a war? I don't understand the logic. In what way are they supporting the troops? Natalie Mains has claimed this as have others. Posted by: Belle at April 29, 2003 09:06 PMLet me explain it, Belle: "I'm not really writing this sentence." See how easy that was? Words mean nothing at all, unless people agree that they do. Posted by: Buddy at April 29, 2003 09:10 PMWho of any importance gives a rats arse what the Chixie Dicks think? Posted by: Insta-Gator at April 30, 2003 12:00 PMThe "crawler" reported that at the start of the concert, the DC's gave the audience an opportunity to Boo as they wished. The audience cheered, went the report. "Somethin's happnin' here, But the girls and the tour are apparently doing Just Fine, tyvm. Posted by: Don at May 3, 2003 12:30 PMPost a comment
